Captain defends her decision to force rescue boat into Italian port

An NGO rescue boat captain who has risked jail time after forcing her way into Lampedusa port in Italy with 40 migrants onboard has defended her act of “disobedience”, saying it was necessary to avert a tragedy.

Way to go for the humanitarian captain. Wishful to have more people like that who have a conscience

Why she don't get direction to Albania?

She epitomises the arrogance and self-satisfied attitude of most liberals and Socialists. They believe they're above the law and their sense of moral superiority puts them above the rest of us mere plebs. I hope Italy make an example of her.

She coyld sail back to the original port where those ppl were coming from. So, it is BS! She did it because she eanted to creat this we are seeing. The left never waste an opportunity to point out and victimize itself to gain control.

There is no excuse. The boat was put in place to support human trafficing and this is what it did. That is supporting organized crime and is to be punished by years of prison. No excuse. She made the choice to break the law from the start.

And she was right. freeCarolaRackete

Carola Rackete - The harbinger of doom.

She sailed around for 14 days! Could have taken them somewhere else! She is nothing more than a human trafficker! Send her to jail take her boat! It wasn’t a rescue it was a taxi!

Please do send the Fraulein to a Italian Jail duty traffic of humans ! And the migrants to France that destroyed Líbia ! After she released can apply to deputy in EU election and propose to rebuild Líbia !

Torpedo the boats, that’ll teach ‘em

She deserves 10 year prison at Favignana

She anchors her vessel off the coast of Libya, the people smugglers get them close, she ‘rescues’ them, crosses the Mediterranean and drops them off at whichever EU port she is allowed into. That’s people smuggling - either she’s part of the gang or a useful idiot.

Lock her up!

Absolute hero. Love this woman.

Picked up off the coast of Libya, so maybe should have taken them to shore there maybe?

The policy by Italy of criminalizing humanitarians who rescue those in danger of drowning is wrong and eventually history will judge it as such

Crashing her boat into a Italian government boat is this not a terrorist attack

YES!!!!! See Lampedusa refugees ..............

Put her in jail for people trafficking as that is effectively what she has enabled.
